I want to put posi-traction in my 78 el camino but I am not sure at all what gears I should get. It would be mainly for street use, some drag action on weekends. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

im running 3.91 with a 28" tall tire. it turns 3000 RPM at 60. i love the gears around town. theyre really fun to drive, pull all the hills nicely, and really make the car feel a lot faster than it really is.
but, by the same toke, its crap on the highway. i dont like to turn excessive RPM for extended periods of time, so im slow as hell on the interstates. also, its kinda beastly in the rain and snow.
all in all, it depends on what you can live with. id reccomend something around a 3.55 with taller tires, or a 3.23 with somewhat short tires.
